ATHLETICS
Baseball
The Shaw Raider baseball team on Friday, April 18, against Kendrick wore "PINK" jerseys in recognition of the
American Cancer Society and the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's "Awareness for the Cure."
The Raiders sold
pink shirts and baseball caps all week during
the four lunch periods to raise money.
Donations also were taken during the game, and the
pink jerseys of all Shaw baseball players were sold with all the
proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. The Komen Foundation is an
organization that is dedicated to saving lives and ending breast cancer. Over
$700 was raised! The Shaw baseball team presented a $500 check to
Mrs. Kay Agnew and
Mrs. Sonya Boyd, who symbolically represented all victims of breast
cancer . Click here to

FINE ARTS
Band
The Shaw High School "Sounds of Silver" band recently traveled to Orlando,
Florida, to participate in Walt Disney's Music Days Celebration, an event that
Disney has produced for many years and which gives the opportunity for young
performers to experience Disney Productions with an "up-close and personal"
touch. This was such a serious event that the students are actually sworn in as
"cast members." The SHS Sounds of Silver performed at Downtown Disney on the
Dock Stage at 8:50 PM before a very large and energetic crowd. The band was
awarded the Mickey Award for their performance; most bands are awarded this for
an outstanding performance. What a wonderful honor!
Choral
Attention all lovers of great music! The Shaw chorus is having their spring
concert at 7 PM on April 24 in the Shaw auditorium. Come for a night of of
Shawsome music!
Foreign Language--Spanish
Charisma Grant,
Jeneka Bennett, Shannon Marble,
Kianca Taylor, and
Tia Tolbert are among the students in the pictures below painting a
geographical mural on the foreign language hallway. This magnificent work of art
will not only decorate the walls, but it will inspire foreign language students
and will instill a desire to learn and explore other countries' cultures. This
on-going project should be completed by the end of fall ('08-09). This is a
combined effort of the Spanish Club members and Mr.
Pichardo's Spanish class. We invite every student as well as every
member of the staff and faculty to visit the "International Gallery" on the
Foreign Language Hallway.
The above named students have contributed greatly to this project; This
project is possible only because of their hard work and dedication. They leave
their mark on Shaw High School, not on sand but on cement...and will last
forever.
